Indoanilines, in particular those described in Luxembourg Pat. No. 58,848 of the assignee, which carry a primary amine group are of course known.

The indoanilines according to the present application are considered to be an improvement over known indoanilines.

Moreover, the indoanilines according to the present invention permit an enlargement of the range of colors obtainable thus for example, shades of green and shades of orange-beige never attained up to the present can be achieved using the indoanilines of the present invention.

The present invention also has for an object a dye composition for keratinic fibers, in particular for living human hair, characterized by the fact that they include in an aqueous or hydroalcoholic solution at least one compound of formula I. ##STR9## wherein R₁ represents hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy;

Mixtures of two or more of the above hydrocarbons or fluoronated hydrocarbons can also be employed.

The pH of the compositions can vary within wide limits. The pH generally ranges between 4 and 11, preferably between 6.5 and 10.5 and advantageously between 7 to 9.

Preparation of N-[(4'-ethyl,β-sulfoethyl amino -2'-methyl)phenyl]-2,6-dimethyl-3-acetylamino benzoquinoneimine in the form of its ammonium salt ##STR62##

0.01 mole (1.79g) of 2,6-dimethyl-5-acetylamino phenol and 0.01 mole (2.58g) of 4-amino-3-methyl-N,N-ethyl,β-sulfoethylaniline are dissolved in 30cc of isopropanol, 50cc of water and 12 cc of ammonia (22° Be). To the resulting solution there is added, little by little, at a temperature of about 15° C., 0.11 mole (2.56g) of ammonium persulfate dissolved in 10 cc of water. The reaction mixture is then left to stand for 24 hours at ambient temperature at which time it is then cooled to 0° C. for a period of two days. The above indoaniline which precipitates in the form of its ammonium salt is then filtered, washed first with a little ice water and then with acetone and dried under a vacuum. The product which melts with decomposition at 205° C., is chromatographically pure.
